    Correction: CAREER. Of course that will happen when you double high and leave him completely uncovered underneath the hoop!

    Turnovers: BeeGee 5 Akron 2

    Come on Groce. Put Taylor Currie in to defend the Big Cat! lol

    ESPN's game preview concludes with this para. This gotta change: DID YOU KNOW: The Bowling Green offense has recorded a turnover on only 14.3 percent of its possessions, which is the fourth-lowest rate in the nation. The Akron defense has forced opposing teams to turn the ball over on just 17.4 percent of all possessions (ranked 282nd among Division I teams).

    Well...they must be surprising somebody! 🤷‍♂️

    Damnit, it was 9am for me! 😧
  7. Z.I.P.
    Dailey, Dawson, Reece, Wynn...5 points between them... 🤷‍♂️😥

    Where is the "high school line" in Ohio? Most states it's the same as NCAA, I think...
  9. Z.I.P.
    Ahem! 😁🤣

    The first five minutes of the second half will tell the story! 😉😉 #LetsGoZips

    How is Akron only down 6 at the half?? That's the best thing I can say. Let's see how Groce coaches these kids at the half.

    Whoa, Nelly!! A 9:00 a.m. HST game on a Tuesday!?! ? Sorry, but what is it about N.Illinois that gives this team so much trouble?? Thank heavens we got 35 free throws... Oops, sorry...wrong thread. ?‍♂️?

    Shocked that I am the one to drop this in here at last...? But...Ives Galarcep interviewed perhaps my all-time fave from the National Champions, Z. aka Mr. Z, or in Amish Country Zarek Valentin on his excellent podcast last week. At 29, Zarek is now the Houston Dynamo player rep and on the MLSPA Ex Comm. Ives and Z discuss among other topics the All Time College Soccer Final Four team, in which the 2010 Akron squad features prominently and they mention Zarek's brother Julian's Wake Forest team and have a great college soccer discussion. Another very interesting subject brought up is that Z's international football career may not be over, as he's very interested in playing for his ancestral Puerto Rican national squad. Hope the podcast stays up for a while, in case anyone misses it. The part with Zarek lasts over 45 minutes. https://sbisoccer.com/2021/02/the-sbi-show-episode-299-with-special-guest-zarek-valentin/amp?__twitter_impression=true

    Mekhi Lairy is just an inch taller than Lil Loren. The broadcast crew at least gave that he was runner-up for Indiana Mr Basketball. Look out for the sweaters to contend next year. I noticed with 5 or 6 minutes to play, I believe Lairy had 6 or 7 more points than LCJ, but ended up getting outscored by...25-24 IIRC. Maishe Daily, with 8 points and 5 assists in 25 minutes gets the Unheralded Player of the Game Award. He provides a calming influence on his teammates, especially Ali who wanted to get after a Miami player late in the action. Maishe talked to him and cooled his heels.

    Sweaters shooting 55.2% from field. I say we take them out of that shape in the second half. Akron by 10. Please!? ?

    The Zips Basketball Weekly (JG Show w/Joe Dunn) used to be broadcast nationally on one of the Fox regional networks. Haven't seen it here since 2019. I wonder if Fox still picks it up -- they have a lot of coaches shows.

    I hope that doesn't happen -- and have heard no mention. The NIT is an opportunity for mid-majors like Akron to make an impact against "name" schools, as Temple, Fla St., Arkansas and Houston have learned. This year's event, with no attendance (or very limited) might give mid-majors the rare chance to host a high major, since gate receipts don't count. I know some like to diss it, but I enjoy the NIT for having quality competition and fewer blowouts than the NCAA.

    Yes, recruited by Dambrot out of...Paintsville? Verballed originally to WVa. Huggins pulled the offer I think, and Keith grabbed him. Red-shirted at Duquesne before ending up in BG.

    Did anyone else see in the BeeGees v Brimfield St. match, they brought the "Big Cat" in the game for about 60 seconds? I hate to say it, but that was 60 seconds too long! ? He has NO athleticism whatsoever! Sad!
  20. Z.I.P.
    That's Dakich for ya! I almost cried when the broadcast began and it wasn't Reghi and Windom. Or ANYONE and Windom!!
  21. Z.I.P.
    It's good for the Zip in Paradise. CBSSN too (and I get 5 different PAC12 Net channels!) I just hope they let Jackie Windom take the talent chair today. She really covers well for the irey Reghi player.
  22. Z.I.P.
    Was he better than Pete Franklin? Lee Hamilton? ?
  23. Z.I.P.
    This game is just what we don't want. A SHOOTOUT!
  24. Z.I.P.
    We need to declare human rights for Summit Lake. I like their Mayor Kapsukiewicz! ?
  25. Z.I.P.
    Any idea if any of the four road games will get national TV coverage? I know telecommunications infrastructure in the greater Shalersville region is subpar, but I think Toledo is joining the modern world...rockets and all that stuff.
